VALUABLE MEDICAL, PREPARATIONS
are calculated, to produce mure real good than
can possibly result from the use of tiny others,
for several reasons:—They are not recommend
ed to cure all, and every disease, as is generally
boasted of other preparations, (which the most
ignorant must be aware cannot Jte, as different
diseases require different medicines.) but each
of Dr. Leidy’s Medicines aye recommended_and
adapted to different classes of diseases. '1 hey
do not contain 'Mercury, or the minerals which
are combined with most, if not all, other prepa
rations in use.' They are perfectly safe ami
pleasant to take, containing nothing offensive or
deleterious, but being composed of Vegetable
, Extracts—may be employed by young and old,
male and female, at all times, and under-all cir
cumstances, without'restraint from occupation,
temperate or moderate living. They are the

But none shall persuade mo

I love them!—l love them !

Lees pure do I And
Less radianUn brightness,

Than smiles wrap’d in brightness,

TCUSINGS. ’
BY AMELIA, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
I wandered out one, summer night.
’T was when ray- years were few— -
The breeze was singing in the light, -
And I was singing too.
■ The moonbeams luy upon the hill, -
The shadows in the vale,
And here and there a leaping till -
Was laughing on the gale.
One fleecy cloud upon the air
■, .Was all that met my eyes— ■’
It floated like an angel there
Between me and the skies.
I clapped my hands and warbled wild,
As here and there 1 flew.
For f was but a careless child,
And do adchildreh do. 1
The wavealcame dancing o’er, the sea,
■ In bright and glittering bands;
Like little.childton wild with glee
They "linked their dimpled hands.
They linked their hands—butqre I caught
Their sprinkled drops of dew.
They-kissed mjTleet,’and quick as .thought
Away the ripples flew. •• -
The twilight hours like UjWs flew hy,
' As lightly and, as .
Ten thousand, stars wefe in the sky, .
Ten thousand in the eea;' ", ~
For every wave with dimpled cheek.
■ Thai leaped oijr, ,
Had caught a statin its embrace, ;
. Arid held it trembling there. ! ,
The young moon, too, with upturned sides,
:■ - Her mirror’d beauty ,
And ari a harKat anchor rides, '
She rode upon the wave; " ~
The sea was like the heaven above.
As perfect and as whole,
: Save that itseomed to thrill with love,
As thrills the immortal soul. ' ’
■' Tho leaves, by splrit-voiqes stirr’d, ,
Made murmurs on the air,— ' v„.... ■
Low murmurs, that my spirit heard, ,

It is a weary thought for Jjip Inman heart
to brood over, that in the wide universe of.
life there is ho other heart to qiiiokett with
our own,.no smile to welcome, our coming,
no eye to brighten with our joy, or weep
with oujt affliction. There is no thought
which falls so heavily and darkly, on (lie
human spirit. It is, us ]f a leaden hand had
been laid upon it, never (o be lifted, 1 never
to be warmed from its frozen communion.
Yet, there is much in a Bachelor’s life
which is pleasant, much of real ami unadul
terated happiness. The romance of the
tnarried passes rapidly away, never to re
turn. The cares aiid duties of domestic
life break’in upon the beautiful dream; and
the sundered links of imagination arc never,
again united. Not so with the Bachelor.—
Ilomancc.is to him as fhe breath of life it

,to himself the day dreams of his boyhood;
and, if Ipas vivid than the long past reality,
they are more sweetly beautiful, ns (he
moonlight hues of memory linger upon
them. •'
“Visions have hovered over hU sleep,
Light, fairy forms have bent above him;
And eyes smiled on liim, like the deep,
Expressive one of those who love him.
Wild, brilliant eyes, through raven hair
Clustering upon the bosom's snow;
’ And thin; white fingers, like cool air.
Have passed along his fevered brow!”
'I had a friend of (his description, a Bach
elor of fifty, a kind,. free hearted fellow,
who frequently, amused; me with .his allu
sions to tlie events of earlier years. Wea
ried with the loneliness and silence of his
existence,-he found a certain, relief .incite
treasured memories"of}the past.. Sorrow
and, joy were.perhaps equally mingled in
these remembrances, like the shadow and
sunshine of an April landscape, yet .both
were- treasured up and loved ahdnnused o
vcr.
*1 had a dream last night,’ said he,’ as I
entered his apartment one cold morning. in
winter—‘ugh!—my:blood chills to-think d£
it!’—his teeth: chattered as he' spoke, al
though there was a glowing fire in the grate,
and lie;had a thick wrapper thrown over
his shoulders. . ‘Sit down,’ continued he,
‘and I’ll.tell you my dream, if I can get
through with it without freezing us. both
into icy statutes,’ —.‘Go on,’ said I, seating
myself comfortably at the fire— ‘ I apprehend
no danger from the' recital of your dream.’ ,
‘Well—last’ evening I*’ : was all alone—
’twos a bitter cold evening too—arid I, as

the past. You cannot imagine what a world
of memory passed before me! But as the,

ice’.
—‘l stood in tho wirifry parlor.shaking with
cold, when a figure slowly approached me,
1 knew it in dn instant. It was the mother
of my first love—the Caroline whom I have
told.you of so often. There were the same
figures, proportions,- dress, &c.—Ore .same
.pair of huge spectacles an her face, which
characterized her thirty years ago. She
came forward and bowed, without relaxing
a muscle of .her countenance, and pointed
to a sofa behind me. Hardly had 1 seated
iiiyself,-when..tlie_door-again—opened-and
.Caroline herself entered,and advanced slow
ly and without any sign of motion, towards
■tie, and held out her hand in a sort of
chanical welcome. I-rose and. clasped it in
,ny own. Heavens!—it was cold—cold as
a winter tomb-stone, and as th.e icy fingers
fastened about nly own, 1 shuddered as if a
spectre had welctmied. me to the world of
shadows. She was ice, like every thing a
round tier. . .
‘The cottage, the old Lady, anil my long
loved Caroline passed away, and 1 found
myself in a beautiful mansion in a far off
land. Th'ere too, the spell of winter rested
like deuth.upon every thing.around me.—

and (hat the warmth and the passion of love :

‘I awoke—my lamp was like a small
spark, it Hail burned so low, the lire, had
gone out; and the"moonlight as it streamed
through the unshuttered windows revealed
the black and cold bars of the grate before
me; the doors were ajar, and a current of
air biller with frost, was sweeping through
the room. For a time, indeed 1 almost im
agined my (Irenin a thing of reality, for 1

friend as he spoke drew his cloak closer a

He kept his word. He is now a married
man; and what is more and better, a happy
one. He has a wife who loves, him. and
children who bless him, and I have" never,
since his marriage, heard him complain of
his frozen, dreams.
a Matrimonial adventure of
GOVERNOR WENTWORTH,,
' The Knickerbocker for April .dins' been
published for some time. It contains much
agrebable matter, a sample of which we sub
join. ' It is an anecdote of Governor Went
worth,; the last-of the Colonial Governors of
Hew Hainpshire, and is stillj-e]ated_by_the.
aged people, of the neighborhood in which'
he lived. ,<
‘He had, it seems, married a very pretty
little girl, some thirty years his junior, who,
like most young wives, was foiid of-gaiety,
and liked, better to pass the evening in
strolling through the woods by moonlight, or
ip dancing at some merry-making, than |n
the arniq.of her gray-haired husband. Nev
ertheless,, although she kept late hours, she
wa.s in eyery other respect a most exempla-
Tyyvife.'tj'The governor who. was a quiet,
sober peonage, and, careful of his health,
preferred going to his bed early, and rising
before the sun, to inhale thecool breeze -of
tlie;morning; and as the lady seldom; came
horaetill, past midnight,: he was hot very
well pleased at being disturbed by her late
hours. ..At lcnglh, after repeated expostu
lations, his patience; was completely exhaust
ed, and fie.frankly'tuld her that lie could
bear it. nq longer,. and .that, if she didnot re
turn home in future before 13 o’clock, she
shouldnot be admitted to the house. -
: ‘The iady-laughed at her, spouse, as pret
ty ladies are wont to.do in such cases; anil
up the .very nest occasion of a- merry-mak
ing, she did not retorittill.past two in; the
morning. The governor heard the carriage
drive to the door, and the: ponderous: clang
for admittance;, but he. did not stir. The
lady then badeher'seryant try the windows,
but. tills the governor had foreseen;- they
were.all secured. Determined, not to be
outgeneraled, she alighted from tub carriage,
and drawing a.heavy key from her pocket,-
sent it. ringing through the window into the
very chamber of her good -.man.; 'Tliisr.anr:

culprit coaxed, entreated, expostulated, anil
threatened; but it was all in vain. At length
becoming frantic at his imperturable obstin
acy, she declared that unless she i was ad
mitted at once she would throw herself into
the lake. aiid hemightconsole himself-with
the reflection that he was the cause of her
death, The governor begged she would, do
so, if it would afford her any pleasure) and
shutting the window;, he retired again to
bed. .
JThe' goberness now instructed her serr
vant to run swiftly to the water, as if in
pursuit of.her, and to throw a large stone
over the bank, screaming as if in terror, at
the moment of doing it, while she would re
main concealed behind the door. The non
chalance was.not quite at ease when he heard
his wife express her determination.—Listen
ing therefore, very attentively; he heard the
rush to the water side—the expostulations
of the servants—the plunge and the screams;
and knowing his wife to be very rash, in her
moments of vexation, and really loving her
must tenderly, he no longer doubted the re
ality. ...
' •Good God I is it possible I’ said he, and
springing from his bed, he ran to 1 the dour

and crying out ‘save her,you rascals!—leap
in, and Save.your' mistress!.’ made for the
juke, Jn the mean time his wife hastened
in doors, locked and made dll fast, and
shortly afterward appeared at the window
from which her husband liad addressed her.
The governor discovered' the ruse, but it
was too late; and he became in his turn the;
expostulator. It. was all in vain, however;

THE PAIXHAM BOMB.
The invention-of this terrible engine of
destruction ia likely to cause rev
olution in the modesofnaval warfare.. The
Paixham bomb is thrown horizontally arid
wi th; as. mu ch_certaint,y_as-solid-shot-from-a
thirty-two pouhder. The destructive effects
of these bombs are described with a fearful
minuteness of detail','"which' leaves the im
pression on the tnind that nothing is told
which has not been done and witnessed
i When thrown horizontally, they- will crush,
■ strike, to pieces and fear open the side of the
i vessel, with a terrible .shuck., “Jf they ic-
I main in the side,” says the account, “theic
| explosion, acting like a mine, will open large I
breaches, the irregular fractures of which,]
| extending below the water line, will make q
passage through which the water will rush
in, as though a dyke were suddenly broken,
i—lf a bomb should enter a mast, it will
overturn it, together with its yards, top and
I rigging. Should the bombs pass entirely
through.the ship’s side, then they will pro
| du’ce ilieji 1 effect between decks, in the midst
of the combatants, the artillery and muni
tions, and they will scatter around showers,
of iron,.and'insupporlable volumes <>f smoke
and flame) they will completely destroy a
fabric of wood, much more easily, than of
stone; they will rip up the deck, set every
thing, on Are, and cause dreadful ravages
every where.” , |
Some of-these bomb's are of one hundred
and fifty and two hundred pounds weight.—
In addition to their explosive terrors, they
arc charged also with a certain-composition,
which, upon-bursting, gives forth such- a
noisome arid even, poisonous smell as to ren
der a ship uninhabitable.;
In the British and French navies the Paix
ham bomb, fins been for some time in use.—
Its powerful efficacy was dtsplayed at Sl. i
Juan-de~Ulloa) BeyroUt, arid' at St. Jean i
d’Acre. The new ships in the British navy
include, as a permanent portion of their ar
mament, a number of bomb cannon adapted |
to this new and destructive missile. A few ,
of our national ships, we believe, have been]
provided with the Paixham bomb, but the.,
use of. it has-npt becomefogerieral in our
navy as is desirable.,

A VOYAGE ONA FLAT BOAT.
A series of adventures of a man, by the
nameuf James Clark, came to our knowl
edge the other day, which for the marvellous,
would not compare ill with Sinbad the Sai
lor. About four years ago, Clark started on
a flat boat with his wife and four children
from the town of Erie, Pa. situated on the
lake of that name, and by the route.uf_the
Ohio and Erie Canal, reached the Oliio river
Descending the Ohioand Mississippi, making,
a brief stay at our landing on his Way, he
reached Bayou Lafouche, in .Louisiana.— 1
Leaving the BayoU by the South-west pass,
he progressed on his voyage, until he was
blown off, about 12 miles into the Gulf.—
A change of wind and a high .tide drove his
flat boat back again and stranded her on a ■
Sand bat near Sunatique. Here he was do-,
tained three months, four or five hundred,
yards from the Water, during which period
he killed a large number of wild hogsi'and
salted pork enough to supply his family ..for
2 years afterwards. He also erected.for his
own accommodation and that of travellers,
quite a respectable dwelling from, the drift
wreck wood, thrown by the waves upon the
shore. A high tide at. length ensued, ami
the flat boat was once mure-put upon the
■ •pit^v' 1 T»
about thirty miles in width) he entered the
mouth of tlie ttionatchce,and thenoe ascend-.
4d to the town of Beaunmnt, In Texas.—-•
Here he erected a.house fur
use of his flat boat .fur material as far as>lt
would go, in finishing his edifice. We are
informed that Mr. Clark is now flourishing
in Texas, ‘like a green bay treei’. antTappears

USE OF COAL IN THE U. STATES.
In 1820, says the Western Farmer, stone
cunl was introduced into the eastern cities,
us a substitute for wood. In 1826, the con
sumption increased to 48,000 tuns, mid in
1840, it was augmented tu 845,000 toil's. "*
In England it is in general use, and ma
chinery equivalent to I ttbor of
of men, is now moved in that country by its
use.- .
It is now applied to steam power in (bis
country, as well as to iron furnaces, which
lias reduced the price of its manufacture
near 40 per cent.
In 1740, the amount of iron‘made in Eng
land and Wales was about 17,000 tons. In
1796, it had increased to 125,000 tons—in
1830, to 700,000,t0ns —in 1839, it. was the
enormous amount of 1,412,000 tons, and
within the. last nine years,' 884,000,000
worth of if was exporteU-.to this country.—
In the United States, the apipuut made is
250,000 tons;' but it is fast increasing,‘’and
since .the introduction of bituminous coal fur
tlic'furnace, it is hoped-that we shall soon
be able to supply ourselves. .Last year wo
imported from,England and Russia, 1 to the
amount of 810,000,66 b.
Opium Thadd. —lt appears according to
the late advices from Canton, that during
the last year the abominabletraffic in opium,
notwithstanding the edicts of the Emperor,
has-been. carried .on in,China to-ad- extent
unprecedented in any former year. Not
less than 30,000. chests have been sold at
Canton and on the coast, at an average price'
of not less than drawing
fromthe country .coin and bullion to die u
mount of EIGHTEEN MILLIONS OP DOLLARS.—
